Astronomy & Astrology differences (Science)

It's almost the end of the term which means the end of the school year... till next year, we have 2 weeks left, and during this time were doing Astronomy for our science topic. One of our pages in the scipad Page 228 is called Astronomy and Astrology which talks about the difference between the two.

So I'm going to bring that page to you but in my own words.
---------

While Astronomy and Astrology may sound similar to each other in words and sound meaning, they both are very different topics.
Astrology is what most scientists would call a Pseudoscience (Pseudoscience meaning False or Fraudulent or rather false science) And while is a real science as it deals with facts and evidence.

Astrology is a system of predicting the future, but this lacks any evidence that it really works.

An Astrologer also believes that the positions of the planets and stars at the moment of a person birth has an effect on their personality and some of the major events that happen to them.

While they believe that

Astronomy is based on the laws of physics and aims to describe what is happening to our universe based on what they see.

The differences are very well known, Astrology is about the constellations or the zodiac signs and how people believe that they change a person attitude and how their life works, while Astronomy is based about our stars and our planets that live in the milk way.

Astrology is known as a false science.
While
Astronomy is known as a real science as it uses the laws of physics and mathematics to find out what they need to know.
